Notes: The
Fusion Monarch is an AR Clone which is surprisingly light and touch and durable,
as well as being light.This due to
its advance polymer upper receiver, lower receiver, and handguards.The receivers are made from injection-molded virgin polymer (as opposed
to recycled, reground polymer infused with both long and short-stand fibers.The resulting polymer is resistant to weather, and is exceptionally
durable, as well as resistance to cracking and chattering, something that has
plagued many early polymer AR designs.The finish may conceivably be any color, though Kaiser for now sells the
Fusion only in black or dark earth.
The Engage EPG16 handguards are made of the same polymer, and are
well-ventilated, and comes with a full length MIL-STD-1913 rail, connecting to
the rail above the receiver.They
have KeyMod attachment points on the sides, with which a shooter may customize
his rifle, directly (with some accessories) or a Picatinny Rail or Weaver rail.They transfer little heat, and free-float handguards.They are also designed to be as rigid as possible.The handguards are almost as long as the barrel, leaving only 10
millimeters of the barrel and the flash suppressor out of the handguards. The
stock may is a Mission First Minimalist Battlelink skeletonized sliding stock
with six positions. It has a cheekpiece designed to deal with most optics
available for the AR today.

The bolt
carrier, firing pin and gas key are all made of titanium, further contributing
to the light weight.The Faxon
stainless steel 16-inch barrel is treated with black nitride and finished in
black, as is the proprietary flash suppressor.The flash suppressor, charging handle, controls, and the interior of the
receiver are also treated with black nitride. The barrel is free-floating and
match-quality. The Fusion has a set of MagPul BUS front and rear sights, which
for the most part adjust like standard M-16/M-4 sights.The Fusion has a QD sling attachment point is on the butt, and it is
attached to it is a NEMO Rapid Assault Team strap, about 8 feet of braided 550
cord. The Engage tactical pistol grip tactical is a bit more ergonomic than an
A2 grip; it has a grooved backstrap and finger grooves on the front.The trigger guard is enlarged for gloves.It is hollow, and closes on a storage chamber that is watertight.Most metallic parts are coated with NP3 Plus, which greatly reduces the
need for lubrication.

The Fusion
Standard has handguards about 51 millimeters shorter than the Fusion Monarch.They come only in black, but otherwise are like the Fusion Monarch’s
handguards.It is slightly lighter
than the Monarch, but the Standard is identical to the Monarch for game
purposes.

The next two
versions are pistol versions, but they are included for the sake of
completeness. The Standard Pistol barrels come in 7.5 and 10.5 inches in 5.56mm
and 8.5 inches in .300. and are tipped with a conical flash suppressor.The handguard are very short, but have the same Picatinny rail setup.The handguards are KSP Slimline handguards.They do not free-float the barrel.Black nitride coats most of the pistol, and the receiver halves are
black. The bolt carrier group components are treated with black nitride. The
Standard Pistol uses a Carpenter 158 bolt. The end of the buffer tube is foam
rubber-coated; this can be easily slipped off to attach a brace or a stock
(which, of course, requires a lot of paperwork and fees in the US and is illegal
in many other countries).

The X7 Amphibian
Anti-Piracy Weapon is similar to the Standard Pistol, but comes only in one
caliber and one barrel length.The
barrel is 10 inches, and tipped with KSP Flash Can muzzle brake. Metallic parts
are coated in NP3 Plus.It uses an
XTECH ATG pistol grip, which is adjustable for angle and size.The receivers are molded in sea-blue, while the rest of the rifle is
black, except for the barrel and buffer tube, which are bright stainless steel.

Of course, the
first thought that comes to mind is feeding these weapons with polymer
magazines, though they can take most AR magazines.

Kel-Tec SUB-2000

Notes: This is a
carbine designed for pistol cartridges.The weapon is largely built of polymers for lighter weight.The weapon can be folded for storage (but not fired when folded) at the
breech.When folded, the weapon can
be locked with a key for safety, and this feature made it popular with people
who had small children.The sights
are luminous and are adjustable, and the SUB-2000 can be disassembled without
tools.

Notes: This is
similar in concept to the SUB-2000, being a folding carbine built largely of
polymers.It is, however, chambered
for the 5.56mm NATO cartridge.The
SU-16 is, therefore, heavier and larger.

The stock of the
SU-16 series is hollow, and can fit two 10-round or one 20 or 30-round magazine
in it.The operating system is for
the most part the same as the AR-15.The SU-16 has an integral folding bipod.

There are
several variants of the basic SU-16.The SU-16B is sort of a carbine version of the SU-16, with a shorter
barrel and somewhat lighter construction.The SU-16C is an SU-16B with a true folding stock, instead of folding at
the breech; firing with the stock folded makes the weapon extremely awkward, and
such shots are done at -4.While
The SUD-9 and SUD-12 are variants of the SU-16C, they have 9 and 12-inch barrels
respectively, no bipod, a flash suppressor, and handguards equipped with an
underbarrel MIL-STD-1913 rail.They
are designed primarily for police concerns.

The SU-16CA is a
new model, introduced in 2006; it is an improved/modified SU-16 with a short
MIL-STD-1913 rail atop the receiver, which has both the detachable front and
rear sights.While this leads to an
extremely short sight radius when using the iron sights; the SU-16CA is not
really meant for use with those sights; Kel-Tec instead recommends the use of a
scope or holographic-type battle sights.The muzzle is threaded for use with various accessories.The SU-16CA is more meant for police and covert use instead of civilian
use, though it is sold to civilians in unmodified form.Though the weight is somewhat different, it shoots (for game purposes)
like a standard SU-16C, and is therefore not given a separate entry on the
firing tables below.

For those
shooters looking for economy (especially in ammunition), Kel-Tec offers the
SU-22CA.Though sharing many
similarities with the rest of the SU-16 series, the SU-22CA is not a conversion
package; the internal parts and interior molding of the receiver are designed
specifically for the SU-22CA, and the sights are modified for the SU-22CA.The SU-22CA, however, will accept most of the accessories as the SU-16CA,
particularly at the threaded muzzle.Controls are in the same positions as those of the rest of the SU-16
series. Magazines are proprietary and
are smoked translucent magazines that are shaped similarly to an AR-15 30-round
magazine, and have an internal column for the .22 Long Rifle ammunition.The SU-22CA will also accept magazines designed for the Atchisson
AR-15-.22 conversion.The stock
does not fold as on the SU-16CA.
Barrel length is 16.1 inches.

Twilight 2000
Notes: The SU-16 is very rare in the Twilight 2000 timeline, and the SU-16B does
not exist in manufactured form.The
SU-16C and CA do not exist at all in the Twilight 2000 timeline, nor do the
SUD-9, SUD-12, or SU-22CA.

LeMAG MAG-1

Notes: A custom
modification by Tim LeGendre of the M-1 Carbine, the MAG-1 was produced in two
calibers, first on a whim, then in limited numbers for US Special Operations
forces and for big game hunters.
The MAG-1 has all the balance and lightness of the original weapon, and has
reputably very controllable recoil despite their greatly increased calibers.The stocks have been replaced with a synthetic stock, since the original
wooden stocks crack under the pressure of the higher calibers.

LeMAG MAG-15

Notes: Another
custom modification by Tim LeGendre, this time of the AR-15 in a custom caliber
called .45 Professional.The new
round has nearly the ballistics of the .338WM while reliably feeding into a
modified AR-15. Though accuracy is not its strong suit, damaging potential is.The magazines are modified AR-15/M-16 magazines, but the 90MWG and
100-round C-Mags cannot be used with this weapon.It is notable that Eugene Stoner, inventor of the AR-15 series, insisted
that this modification could not be accomplished.

Notes: The LBC
Ultimate Super Varmint is a highly-accurized version of the AR-15.It is chambered for 5.56mm NATO ammunition, as well as the new .204
Ruger, but the Ultimate Super Varmint boasts almost sniper-rifle-like accuracy
(1/2 MOA with factory ammunition).Like most Les Baer weapons, the Ultimate Super Varmint is built almost
entirely from scratch, using parts which Les Baer produces for himself.The barrel, bolt, bolt carrier group, and extractor are chromed for extra
reliability, and all parts are precision-machined.The firing pin is made from titanium and generally will not break, nor
will it corrode.The exterior of
the rifle has a custom finish called “Baer Coat.”The upper receiver has a MIL-STD-1913 rail and in front of the barrel
shroud is another very short rail (the rifle is not normally used with iron
sights, but the rails can mount them).

Twilight 2000
Notes: The 5.56mm NATO version is extremely rare, and the .204 Ruger version
does not exist at all.

LMT

MWS

Notes: The
recent special issue magazine, Guide to
Long-Range Accuracy, lists the MWS (Modular Weapon System) as a sniper
rifle; however, LMT’s own site makes it sound more like a battle/hunting rifle.I am therefore going to list it here with other sporting rifles.

While the
British used the M-110 for a short time in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, they
were never really impressed with it for a variety of reasons.They commissioned a new spotter’s rifle, which was first employed in the
early 2000’s, designating it the L-129A1 (after testing).Though they intended never to have a civilian version built, they
eventually agreed with LMT, after deleting some more secret features.This is being called by LMT the LM-308MWS.

The MWS is an
AR-type weapon designed for a variety of calibers, most of which are meant to
appeal to civilians. Nonetheless, the MWS has a number of features that could
make it useful to police or even some military users.The charging handle is enlarged to make charging easier. The MWS has
ambidextrous controls, though the controls are smaller on the right side than
the left.The front and rear sights
are quickly and easily adjustable using knobs (not normally found on the front
sight of an AR).The MWS has
MIL-STD-1913 rails on the top (the rails on the upper receiver and atop the
handguards lock together, making them continuous), the sides of the handguards,
and under the handguards. (The MWS ships with rail covers if the user needs
them.)The MWS has a total of five
sling attachment points built in (potentially others could be mounted on the
rails). The stock is a SOPMOD stock, a modified version of the M-4’s stock.Barrels are 16, 18 or 20 inches, cryogenically-treated and
specially-mounted (though not free floating, they do help in the accuracy
department).The trigger is a
two-stage “tactical” trigger (I haven’t been able to find out what makes the
trigger “tactical”).

So, what makes
the MWS modular.Well, the
barrel-mounting hardware allows the user to change barrels between different
lengths, and even to different calibers (or both) as desired.

While one can do
a lot of things with an MWS, one could also do some minor weightlifting, as it
is heavy for the type rifle it is.
However, this added weight has the effect of dampening felt recoil and muzzle
climb, so it is a mixed blessing.

Notes: These rifles are not available in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Marlin 45

Notes: The
Marlin 45 (also called, incorrectly, the Model 45 Camp Carbine; the “Camp
Carbine” name is used by Marlin only for the Model 9) was introduced in 1986.The Model 45 is a simple blowback-operated rifle carbine designed for the
.45 ACP cartridge, and meant for self-defense whether at home or in the
wilderness.Very easy to operate
and maintain, the Model 45 features a 16.5-inch barrel and steel metalwork.The upper receiver has a squared surface to allow drilling and tapping
for a scope mount and allow a firm base for the mount, if used.A spring-leaf and elevator rear sight is also supplied, with a fiberoptic
high-contrast front sight.The
stock is of plain birch with a half-length fore-end, a pistol grip wrist, and no
sort of checkering of any kind.The
magazine is proprietary.

Due to customer
demand, a 9mm Parabellum version was introduced a short time later, called the
Model 9 Camp Carbine.It is
essentially the same as the Model 45, except for the changes necessary for the
different caliber and higher-capacity magazine (it is the same length as that of
the Model 45, but the rounds are smaller).Early in the production of the Camp Carbine, 20-round magazines were also
designed for these rifles, but these was quickly discontinued for reasons
unknown to me at this time.These
large-capacity magazines are now quite rare and usually expensive (in real-life
terms).In addition, the Camp
Carbines are also capable of accepting Smith & Wesson Third Generation pistol
magazines of the appropriate caliber.

Marlin 50

Notes: This was
the first of Marlin’s semiautomatic rimfire rifles, first sold in 1931, and
continuing production for 4 years.
It was built only in small numbers, with about 5000 total being manufactured.The Marlin 50, firing from an open bolt and having manual auxiliary
extractor (which was difficult to strip and use), was never very popular, though
it functioned quite well.The Model
50 had a 22-inch barrel with a hooded bead front sight at the muzzle.The rear sight was a spring-leaf and elevator type; a minor variant, the
Model 50E, used a simple adjustable aperture rear sight (but is identical for
game purposes).The stock was of
hardwood with a half-length fore-end, a rather shallow pistol grip wrist.The receiver was of a tubular shape and made of stamped steel, as was the
trigger and trigger guard.

The Model A1 was
an improved version of the Model 50, manufactured from 1936-40.The Model A1 fired from a closed bolt, and used a 24-inch barrel.The safety catch was moved to rear of the tubular receiver.The original Model A1s used a stamped steel trigger and trigger guard,
and used only a spring-leaf and elevator-type rear sight and a hooded bead front
sight.

The Model A1 was
modified in 1941, though production stopped near the end of 1941 (as Marlin was
primarily making weapons for the US military during World War 2), and did not
pick up again until late 1945 and continuing until late 1946.Modifications included moving the safety again – it was now a radial
safety on the right rear side of the receiver.The trigger guard of this modified version was made of plastic, and the
stock was re-shaped, with a deeper pistol grip wrist and a rounded fore-end.Other variants included the Model A1E (built from 1936-41 and 1945-46),
with a simple adjustable aperture rear sight; the Model A1E (built in 1941 and
from 1945-46), with a different stock that had a fluted comb and a beavertail
fore-end, as well as the aperture rear sight; and the A1DL, which had both an
aperture rear sight and a target-type peep sight, as well as sling swivels
fitted as standard. All of these variants of the Model A1 are identical to the
standard Model A1 for game purposes.

The Marlin Model
88 was the first of Marlin’s post-World War 2 designs, and is basically an
enlarged A-1.The mechanism was
somewhat simplified (primarily by having the charging handle move in the
ejection port slot instead of its own channel), with the charging handle
attached directly to the bolt, and the radial safety switch was moved to the
extreme rear right side of the receiver.The problem was the tubular magazine in the butt, which was difficult to
load, because an inner tube had to be removed before loading the cartridges.The original Model 88 was produced from 1948-56.

Variants of the
Model 88 included the Model 88DL, a deluxe version with a peep auxiliary rear
sight, checkering on the pistol grip wrist and fore-end, and sling swivels.(It is identical to the standard Model 88 for game purposes).It was produced from 1953-56.The Model 89C was built concurrently with the Model 88, but production
lasted until 1961; this variant was fed by a box magazine instead of the Model
88’s tubular magazine.(The box
magazine originally held 7 rounds, but a 12-round magazine was introduced for
the Model 89C in 1956.)In 1957,
the stock of the Model 89C was changed to one with a Monte Carlo-type cheekpiece
and a buttplate made of plastic with decorative white spacers for the buttplate
and pistol grip wrist cap.The
Model 89DL was the deluxe equivalent of the Model 89C, similar to the Model 88DL
in that respect.

The Models 88
and 89 series were takedown-type rifles, but the Model 98 was a variant with a
solid frame.It was also fed by a
tubular magazine in the butt, with a loading port just behind the pistol grip
wrist.The Model 98 had a stock of
somewhat better-quality wood, with a Monte Carlo comb and cheekpiece.The fore-end was tapering instead of being straight with a rounded end.Drilling and tapping could be ordered for the Model 98 (though it was not
a standard feature).The Model 98
was built from 1957-59.

Notes: The Model
99 (and its variants) was built in very large numbers for a rimfire rifle.The Model 99 used a short, flat-sided receiver with a curved back, and a
stock with a shallow pistol grip wrist.The trigger unit included the safety, which was a crossbolt design
located at the rear of the trigger guard.The plain birch stock was built in one piece, with a half-length trigger
guard.Feed was from a tubular
magazine, under a 22-inch barrel.
The rear sight was a spring-leaf and elevator design.The original Model 99 was built only from 1959-61, but in this time over
116,000 were built.The Model 49
was built from 1958-78, and is essentially a Model 99 with a two-piece stock.The Model 49DL was a deluxe version, with a checkered pistol grip wrist
and fore-end, as well as scrollwork engraving on the receiver.The Model 60 is also basically the same as the Model 99, but has a
Wide-Scan hooded front sight, and a bolt hold-open device (after 1985).The M-60SS is a version with stainless steel and nickel-plated steel
metalwork, a stock laminated in a black/gray color, and a rubber recoil pad.The Models 60 and 60SS are still in production.The Model 70 is also still in production, and is essentially the same as
the Model 99 except for its removable sights and the bolt hold-open device
introduced in 1985.The Model 70HC
is also similar, but can also accept a long, curved 25-round magazine.

The Model 70P
Papoose is quite different from the Model 70, however; it is fed by a box
magazine and has a short 16.25-inch barrel.The barrel can be easily removed, with a mechanical interlock ensuring
that the Papoose cannot fire unless the barrel is properly secured.The fore-end of the stock extends only to the front of the receiver.The Model 70PSS is very similar, but uses stainless steel metalwork and
black synthetic/fiberglass stock.

The Model 75 is
also a carbine variant, using an 18-inch magazine, but is fed by a tubular
magazine which is shorter than that of the Model 99 and most of its variants.The Model 996 is identical to the Model 989, but is magazine-fed.(It shoots identically to the Model 75 for game purposes.)

Another deluxe
variant, the Model 99C, was produced from 1961-78.The Model 99C had Micro-Grooved rifling, a gold-plated trigger and walnut
stocks instead of birch.In 1963,
the standard-style stock was replaced with a Monte Carlo-type stock and the bolt
became damascened; in 1964, the Model 99C acquired grooves for a scope mount; in
1969, the front sight was made into one piece with the muzzle band; and in 1971,
the pistol grip wrist and fore-end were checkered (checkering which was modified
at least once).The Model 99DL was
a little more deluxe, with a gold-plated trigger and trigger guard, a fluted
comb for the Monte Carlo-type stock, a hard rubber buttplate, decorative white
spacers for the buttplate, and a leather sling supplied with the rifle.The Model 990 was a semi-deluxe version with a walnut Monte Carlo-type
stock, diamond-void checkering on the pistol grip wrist and fore-end, and a
spring-leaf rear sight, which when folded down revealed simple notch sight for
quick shots. It also had a slightly-smaller tubular magazine.(It is identical to the Model 99 game for shooting purposes.) 1992’s
Model 990L is not a luxury version, but differs in having a hard rubber
buttplate, sling swivels, and a spring-leaf and elevator sight.(These four are identical to the standard Model 990 for game purposes,
and thay shoot identically to the Model 99 for game purposes.)

The Model 989 is
essentially a magazine-fed version of the Model 99.The first few months, the Model 989 was built with a standard Model 99
stock, but after that they were built with Monte Carlo-type stocks.(It is identical to the Model 70 for game shooting purposes, and does not
have a separate line on the combat tables.) The Model 989M2 version is a carbine
variant, with an 18-inch barrel and a military-style stock.The Model 995 is a version of the Model 989M2 with a Monte Carlo-type
stock (checkered on the pistol grip wrist and fore-end), and the sights of the
Model 990.The Model 995SS is a
Model 990 with stainless steel metalwork.The Model 989M2, Model 995, and Model 995SS are identical for game
purposes, including game shooting purposes.

From 1966-79,
the Model 99M1 (also called the Model 99M1 Carbine) was built.Though the Model 99M1 was externally designed to resemble an M-1 Carbine
as much as possible, internally it was still a Model 99, albeit with a much
shorter tubular magazine designed to fit into the fore-end of the rifle and a
faux box magazine.The barrel length was 18 inches, and the sights were virtually identical
to the original M-1 Carbine sights (suitably altered to match the .22 Long Rifle
round).In 1969, a bolt hold-open
device was added.The Model 99M1
shoots like a Model 75 for game purposes.

The Model 922
was added to the line in 1993; it is a Model 99 which is fed by a box magazine
and fires the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire round, as well as having a Monte
Carlo-type stock and a bolt hold-open mechanism.It is identical to the Model 99 for game purposes.

It should also
be noted that many aftermarket stocks, trigger units, magazines, etc., have been
made for these rifles and many strange configurations of them can be found from
time to time.

Marlin 717M2

Notes: This
semiautomatic rimfire rifle, new for 2005, fires the high-velocity .17 Mach 2
Rimfire cartridge.The rifle is
sleek and lightweight, with a laminated walnut stock with a pistol grip wrist
and Monte Carlo-style cheekpiece.
The safety is a crossbolt-type which locks the bolt in place.The stock’s lamination is a very tough finish known as “Mar-Shield.”The rear sight is fixed, but the front sight is adjustable; the receiver
is also grooved for a scope mount.

Marlin 995 Carbine

Notes:This is a light, short-barreled hunting rifle.It has a simple action and a stock of American walnut.It is capable of digesting virtually any sort of .22 Long Rifle round,
from very light bullets to “hot loaded” rounds and very heavy bullets.The barrel, receiver, and mechanism are largely made from blued steel.There are two alternate versions, one with stainless steel parts which
are nickel-plated (identical for game purposes) and one with a stock made from
high-impact black plastic.

The Model 795 is
the successor to the Model 995, introduced in 1997.This version is virtually identical to the Model 995, but the Model 795
has a standard plastic stock and blued steel metal parts, except for the
nickel-plated magazine.The
magazine capacity has also been enlarged to ten rounds.It is also a very lightweight weapon, much lighter than its predecessors.

The Marlin 2000
is basically a Model 795 with a heavy match barrel.The stock is of black high-impact plastic, and the metal parts are deeply
blued.The Model 2000 has a bolt
catch that holds the bolt open after the last shot is fired; a separate bolt
catch allows the bolt to be returned forward when the rifle is empty.The Model 2000 has no iron sights, but is dovetailed for a telescopic
sight mount.

Twilight 2000
Notes: The Model 795 does not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline, nor does the
Model 2000.

MasterPiece Arms 308BBA

Notes: An
up-and-coming competition rifle, the 308BBA has a number of refinements that
make it attractive to competition shooters.Everything but the bolt and trigger is built by MasterPiece Arms; the
barrel is especially noteworthy. MasterPiece Arms purchased their barrel-making
equipment from Spencer Rifles a short time ago (the date on this piece is Apr
2016), and their rifles undergo one of the most grueling proving grounds in the
industry.They are button-rifled
416 RQ stainless steel barrels 24 inches long and tipped by a proprietary muzzle
brake which can be easily removed and replaced.They are lead-lapped by hand and stress-relieved.The bore is measured with an air gauge, with a tolerance of only 0.0001
inch being allowed.Finally, the
barrel is visually inspected.MPA
also has many proprietary steps and procedures in making its barrels, which are
not described to the press.

The action is
done by Kelbly Atlas Tactical.The
action is available to other buyers, but special fitting is required to seat it
for most gunsmiths (the 308BBA is designed for that action). It has a light bolt
lift, which allows for fast cycling.It also has a side bolt release. The action has a mechanical ejector that
is very reliable over normal spring-loaded ejectors. The mechanical ejector is
also nearly immune to fouling and gunked-up oil.The stock is slim and easy to grip; it is made of billet aluminum and
comes in several colors.It is
finished in Cerakote. Though it does not come with MIL-STD-1913 rails, it has
attachment points on all four sides of the handguard. The 308BBA is unusual for
a civilian rifle in that it comes with a bipod, and an attachment point for it
instead of having to use a sling attachment point. On the stock is a bubble
level that allows very precise measurements of whether the rifle is level.The butt has a recoil pad and is adjustable for length of pull; the stock
also has an adjustable cheekpiece.

MG Arms K-Yote

Notes: MG Arms
is a maker of semi-custom arms in Spring, Texas.The proprietor is a mechanical engineer who originally did gunsmithing to
keep him in ammunition money, but decided to turn it into a full-time
occupation. The K-Yote is an AR-type rifle, to be sure, but built to incredibly
tight tolerances and finished in up to 25 different colors, along with optional
logos and symbols.Under the finish
is PTFE Teflon. Tolerances are kept to .001 inches. The K-Yote may be a line,
but it's a low-production line, with the rifles being made to the shooter.He makes his own lower receivers, out of billet aluminum.The upper receiver is the same, and has a monolithic MIL-STD-1913 rail.The barrel is a 20, 24, or 26-inch match-grade floating barrel with a
target crown (but not a muzzle device), and of heavy profile. The Magpul stock
is fully adjustable for length, cheek height, and cant, and has a Packmayr
Decelerator recoil pad.The
proprietary target trigger is set for a mere 2.5 pounds.The handguards have four MIL-STD-1913 rails.The gas block is large and beefy.

Military Precision SSR-40

Notes: Military
Precision is a company primarily known for it’s adaptations of standard military
weapons to fire only blanks, for use in TV and movies and for entertainment or
practice.However, Military
Precision recently introduced its first firing-type firearms.This series, the SSR-40, essentially consists of semiautomatic versions
of the World War 2 German MP-40 submachinegun.For the most part, the SSR-40 is a faithful copy of the original,
particularly in the exterior appearance.However, the SSR-40 is hammer-fired and fires from an closed bolt, rather
than being striker-fired and firing from an open bolt as the MP-40 does.
Military Precision makes the magazines and other accessories for the SSR-40,
though original MP-40 magazines will also fit.

The SSR-40 is a
short-barreled rifle version, and perhaps the closest to the original MP-40.(In the US, a lot of BATF red tape must be navigated to own one.)The SSR-40 currently is available only with a fixed stock (a strut-type
with a rudimentary buttplate), but rumors about a folding-stock version.The barrel of this version is 10 inches.

The SSR-40R is
essentially the same, but with a BATF-legal 16-inch barrel (the barrel is simply
extended well beyond the front sight).This version does come in both fixed and folding stock versions.

The SSR-40
Pistol is more of a short-barreled stockless carbine than a pistol, though the
US BATF does consider it legally a pistol.It looks essentially like a folding-stock MP-40, but the stock is
permanently-folded and basically cosmetic, as it cannot be unfolded – it is
welded and pinned to the rest of the weapon.

Mitchell’s Mausers Black Lightning

Notes: This
rifle is intended to be a varmint and pest-control rifle.It is, despite its rimfire calibers, a rather accurate rifle with decent
range for its intended purpose.

The Black
Lightning has (of course) a stock made of black polymer; because the buttstock
is solid rather than hollow or filled, the Black Lightning is surprisingly
heavy.Most of the metalwork is
also finished in black.The barrel
is 18 inches long, fluted, and extra-heavy, and is crowned.The top of the receiver has a MIL-STD-1913 rail for the mounting of
optics, and scope rings as well as detachable iron sights (based on those of the
AR-15) also come with the Black Lightning.Operation is by simple blowback.The magazine loads into the pistol grip.There is a narrow “bow” extending from about two-thirds of the way down
the stock to the bottom of the pistol grip; Lisa Buttrell of Mitchell’s Mausers
says, “The bow conforms to the rifle’s futuristic appearance and has a tendency
to keep the BATF happy.”

Twilight 2000
Notes: The Black Lightning does not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline; indeed,
it did not even go on real-world sale until late 2006.

Mossberg 50

Notes: This
rifle is noted for its toughness; it can take a great deal of abuse and keep
going.It is otherwise a plain,
even unsophisticated rifle.
Introduced in 1939, the original Model 50 stopped production soon after the
bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, as Mossberg began to concentrate on military
weapons.The tubular magazine was
in the stock, with a loading port cut into the right side.The stock was of plain hardwood with a pistol grip wrist.The sights were mounted on the 24-inch barrel, and consisted of
spring-leaf and elevator rear and a simple ramp front.

Variants
included the Model 51; this version used a heavier stock with a cheekpiece and a
second micrometer-adjustable rear sight at the rear of the receiver.It was built only in small numbers in 1939, and though it is heavier than
the Model 50, it shoots the same for game purposes.The Model 51M was built from 1939-41, and then again from 1945-46; it is
a short version, with a 20-inch barrel and a Mannlicher-type stock.The cheekpiece on pre-war guns was of an oval shape, while on post-war
Model 51Ms the cheekpiece is more of a wedge shape.

The Model 151M
is a variant of the post-war Model 51M, and was built from 1946-47.Changes included a rubber recoil pad on the butt and modifications to the
sights.The Model 151K was built
from 1950-51, and differed in having a half-length fore-end with a Monte
Carlo-type comb and cheekpiece, and a Schnabel tip on the fore-end.It omitted the recoil pad, and also had a full 24-inch barrel.

The Model 152
was a carbine variant built from 1948-52.The Model 152 had an 18-inch barrel, a Monte Carlo-type stock, and a
fore-end tip which could be pivoted downward into sort of a foregrip.The Model 152 was also fed from a box magazine instead of the stock tube,
and the rear sight was a simple peep-type.The Model 152K is virtually identical, but has a notch-type rear sight,
and is identical to the Model 152 for game purposes.

Mossberg 350K

Notes: This
semiautomatic rimfire rifle shared some components with the Model 340
bolt-action rimfire rifle.Built
from 1958-85, the Model 350 had a shrouded hammer and a Monte Carlo comb with a
fixed cheekpiece.The receiver was
round-topped and squared on the sides, and the mechanism shares many components
with the Model 340 series.The
stock was of the Monte Carlo-type with a cheekpiece on the left side of the
stock (though it could also be ordered with the cheekpiece on the other side for
left-handed shooters), and the fore-end was half-length and rounded at the tip.Barrel length was 23.5 inches, and the sights consisted of a rear
spring-leaf and elevatorwith a
front ramp.

There were many
variants of the Model 350K, most of which are identical to the Model 350K for
game purposes.Some which are not
identical for game purposes include the Model 351C carbine, sometimes called the
“Western Carbine.”This version had
a 18.5-inch barrel with a barrel band around the barrel and fore-end to which a
saddle ring could be attached.The
Model 351K used a tubular magazine in the stock, a 24-inch barrel, and an open
spring-leaf and elevator rear sight.It was built only from 1958-60.The M-352 was another carbine variant of the Model 350K, with an
18.5-inch barrel, but lacking the cheekpiece and having a Tenite plastic
fore-end extension which could swing downward to form a sort of foregrip.There are weight differences, but it shoots the same as the Model 351C
for game purposes.The Model 377
Plinkster used a 20-inch barrel, was fed by a tubular magazine in the stock, and
a stock of polystryrene within a walnut shell.The stock had a rollover comb and a thumbhole-type pistol grip wrist.No iron sights were provided, but instead a 4x scope came as standard
equipment.The Model 380 was a
simplified pattern, lighter than the rest of the series and with a tubular
magazine in the stock.For game
purposes, it shoots the same as the Model 350K In 1985, the name of the Model
380 was changed to “Model 480,” but changed back in 1986.

Mossberg 430

Notes: This
weapon was produced for only a few months between 1970 and 1971.The Model 430 used a round-topped slab-sided receiver. The rifle had a
Monte Carlo-type stock with a short fore-end and checkering on the fore-end and
pistol grip wrist.It was fed from
a tubular magazine.Spring-leaf and
elevator rear sights and a bead front sight were fitted, and the Model 430 had a
24-inch barrel.The Model 433 was a
deluxe version of the Model 430.
The Model 432 was a carbine variant with a 20-inch barrel, a straight-wrist
stock with no checkering, and a band around the fore-end and barrel.Production
of the Model 432 did not stop until 1973.

None of these
rifles were built in great numbers, and they are difficult to find today.

Notes: A
semiautomatic rifle from a company more known for their bolt-action hunting
rifles, the MMR (Mossberg Modern Rifle) is an AR Clone with plenty of divergent
figures to make it separate from the AR-15.The base model, the Hunter (called simply the MMR at first) has a flattop
receiver with a MIL-STD-1913 rail machined into the top; no iron sights come
with the rifle, but they can be had from Mossberg.The stock is of the A2 type, but the pistol grip is a Stark SE-1, which
has a hinged compartment at the bottom for batteries or other small items.The handguards are round aluminum, textured for grip, and ventilated near
the front.The 20-inch free
floating barrel is of heavy profile and has a target crown.Standard Finish is Phosphate/Anodized (Black), but Mossy Oak Treestand
and Mossy Oak Brush finishes are optional.

The Tactical is
a shorter version of the Hunter.
Differences include the 16.25-inch barrel tipped with a compact muzzle brake, a
MIL-STD-1913 rail that extends down the receiver and top of the handguard,
another rail underneath, an M-4-type sliding stock, and a black finish (only).
Iron Sights to mount on the rails is optional

MPA-971 Carbine

This is a rather
odd-looking weapon; the handguards appear to be those of an M-4 carbine, the
receiver group seems to be copied from the M-10 submachinegun, the stock looks
like that of the Mk 48 machinegun, it has a MIL-STD-1913 rail with a flip-up
rear sight (no front sight), the trigger group and lower receiver are modified
FAL parts, and it can be fed from box magazines or even from an M-31 Suomi
71-round drum!The handguards are
held in place by a screw-on ring, making removal easier, and the entire weapon
strips rather easily.The muzzle
readily accepts a variety of brakes, flash suppressors, and sound suppressors,
though it is not sold this way.It
is a strange-looking weapon, but it is otherwise rather effective, within the
limitations of its ammunition.It
is, unfortunately, a bit heavy, but this helps in controllability.

Notes: One of
the newest civilian versions of the Steyr AUG series is the STG-556.Built by a Steyr subsidiary in the US called Microtech Small Arms
Research (MSAR), the STG-556 is actually built from better-quality materials and
to closer tolerances than the AUG.
The receiver is, in fact, made from 7075-76 aluminum rather than polymer, and is
hardcoat-anodized.(The stock is
still polymer.)The STG-556 also
has a bolt hold-open feature and a forward assist.Though MIL-STD-1913 rails are not standard features, two attachment
points for them are provided under the optical sight; alternatively, the STG-556
can be ordered without the AUG-like optical sight and with a MIL-STD-1913 rail
atop the receiver instead.The
optical sight is still 1.5x, but the reticle is different.Magazines used are of the traditional AUG-specific type used on the AUG
A1 series, with 10 and 20-round magazines also being available.(These reduced-capacity magazines will also fit into an AUG A1.)An unusual feature is that the STG-556 can be had in 6.8mm SPC, and a kit
is also available to convert a 5.56mm STG-556 to fire 6.8mm SPC.

A variant of the
STG-556, the MSC-08, can be had as a complete rifle or as a kit to convert the
STG-556 to the MSC-08 configuration.The MSC-08 is a 9mm carbine with a 16.5-inch barrel.The features are for the most part the same as the STG-556, except for
the varying barrel lengths.

A new version of
the STG-556 introduced in 2010, the STG-E4, is a modular kit (of various sizes
according to which the customer is willing to pay) which allows for the use of
either a 16-inch barrel or a 20-inch barrel and several ammunition chamberings.The kit can be used on the lower receiver of a standard STG-556; the
STG-E4 is sort of an outgrowth of the MSC-08 technology.The upper receiver kit may be had with the standard AUG-type 1.5x
detachable sight or a 22.86-centimeter length of MIL-STD-1913 rail topped by the
same optic, but with a rail interface.(The prices below assume the use of a MIL-STD-1913 rail; if the standard
optic and interface is used, reduce price by 1% and weight by 0.01 kg.)The STG-E4 can be had with the furniture in OD Green, black, or tan.The STG-E4 will accept most commercial or military magazines of the
appropriate caliber, but MSAR also makes their own magazine (the XM-30) which is
made of translucent, non-glare polymer and has an improved-reliability magazine
spring, follower, and guide rails for the follower.Each additional receiver/barrel /parts kit costs 30% the price of the
original rifle as listed below with the same chambering, and has 50% of the
weight.
